Chapter 27 - One More Day

Keifer POV

It's Sunday. London is quiet. But my mind isn't.

Everything's finally settled. The inheritance is mine. Watson Company — the empire my mother built, the legacy she died protecting — now rests in my hands.

It wasn't handed to me. Clyde tried everything. Backdoor deals. Legal threats. Emotional manipulation. He wanted the company like it was a trophy — something to flaunt, not protect.

But I didn't let him win. I made sure no one in the Watson family got it. Because it's mine. Because it was hers. Because when she died, she left more than assets — she left a promise.

Then came Kaizer Watson. My so-called father. The monster who murdered her.

He didn't bring lawyers. He brought threats. Tried to blackmail me with Kieran and Kegain — my little brothers, my everything. Said I wasn't fit to raise them. Said I was just a scared kid playing CEO.

But the moment I turned eighteen? I made sure he couldn't touch them. Filed for full custody. And I won.

I'm their guardian now. Their protector. Their shield.

He can't get near them. Not legally. Not physically. Not ever again.

Because I'm not a scared kid anymore. I'm the one who survived him. I'm the one who reclaimed what he tried to destroy.

And I'll burn the world down before I let him near my brothers — or Jay — again.

JayJay. The chaos I missed more than I ever admitted.

I'd check my phone between meetings, hoping for something. A meme. A sarcastic insult. Anything. But silence.

And I deserved it. I told myself it was protection. But maybe it was control.

Still… when I heard the engagement was broken? I couldn't breathe.

Not because I wanted her back. But because she was finally free. Free from contracts. From manipulation. Free from the red rooster and his family's twisted games.

I smiled for the first time in weeks. Because JayJay wasn't just surviving. She was burning empires.

And I missed her. Not the drama. Not the chaos. Her.

I don't know if she'll ever forgive me. But I'll earn it. Every damn bit of it.

I'm flying back tomorrow. To my Mrs. Watson. 💖
